Over The Rhine Here It Is lyrics
Songwriters: Detweiler, Linford
I cried when I wrote this, Iâll always remember
The worst kind of lonely is alone in December
The act of forgiveness is always a mystery
The meltinâ of ice and the future of history, yeah
Some call it obsession, I call it commitment
I make my confession, I make it in public
I hope that itâs helpful, that others can use it
That itâs more than my ego, my need to abuse it
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
And here it is
The leaves on the oak tree hold on through the winter
Theyâre brown and theyâre brittle and they clatter together
I canât seem to let go, Iâm so scared of losinâ
The deeper the love goes, the deeper the bruisinâ, yeah
The trouble with talkinâ is it makes you sound clever
And the trouble with waitinâ is youâll just wait forever
Thereâs a loop of excuses that plays in your mind
And makes the truth even harder to find
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
And here it is
When they blow Gabrielâs horn, rip fiction from fact
I wanna get caught in some radical act
Of love and redemption, the sound of warm laughter
Some true conversation with a friend or my lover, yeah
Somewhere down the road weâll lift up our glass
And toast the moment and the moments past
The heartbreak and laughter, the joy and the tears
The scary, scary beauty of whatâs right here
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas, yes
Iâm wrappinâ up my love this Christmas
And here it is
Oh, here it is
Oh, oh, oh, here it is, yeah
Oh, oh, here it is
Here it is
